Black History Month

Posted: 4th October 2024

 

At St Christopher’s, we are proud to celebrate Black History Month, a time to recognize and honour the contributions, achievements, and rich history of Black individuals and communities. Throughout October, we have planned a range of engaging activities to deepen our understanding and appreciation of Black history and culture.

Mr. Carter and Mrs. West have already led assemblies that highlight the significance of Black History Month and introduce some key figures who have made a difference. Additionally, Mrs. Shivers and Miss Leaf have curated an exciting lineup of events and activities, which include:

  • Children will enjoy books by Black authors and illustrators in their classes, fostering a greater appreciation for diverse voices in literature.
  • Several Black players from Crystal Palace Football Club will visit to speak about their heritages and sporting achievements, followed by a Q&A session (Tuesday, 8th October during the school day).
  • In collaboration with Beckenham BookShop, we will host a book sale featuring selected titles centred around Black role models and authors (Thursday, 17th October 2024, in the school’s library at 3:30 pm).
  • International DJ & Capital Radio Presenter Mistajam, also known as Peter Dalton, has recorded a presentation about his background and career in the music industry.
  • Musical Theatre actors from the production of Mrs. Doubtfire have been interviewed about their Afro-Caribbean backgrounds and their achievements in the Arts.

We look forward to a fantastic month of learning, inspiration, and celebration!
